It’s time to discover the truth about the terrifying events of Keen Sight, the small town tucked away in the endless woods of Idaho and location of Daymare: 1998. But in order to uncover these dark secrets, you must go back to where it all began. Back to 1994.

Step into the shoes of special agent Dalila Reyes, a former government spy now in the service of a unit called H.A.D.E.S. (Hexacore Advanced Division for Extraction and Search), and get ready to enter the most advanced experimental research center in the United States of America. Be careful though, because in the darkness of the desolate, labyrinthine depths of the military research center there is something terrifying and lethal awaiting you! 

Lock and load one of the most innovative and technologically advanced weapons of all time and prepare to face never-before-seen creatures as you make your way through a series of evocative locations and unlock the secrets they contain.

Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is a perfect blend of fierce and deadly enemies where hardcore action game mechanics, environmental puzzles, a chilling soundtrack, plenty of exploration and massive doses of concentrated horror are waiting for you. No place is safe, especially when you’re being hunted by your nightmares.

Originally planned for May 17, 2023, publisher Leonardo Interactive and developer Invader Studios revealed that Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is now scheduled for August 30, 2023.

 Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle will deliver an unforgettable experience on PC, PS45, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One on August 30, 2023, and invites players on a new adventure with a new PC gameplay demo available on Thursday, May 11, 2023.  

Entering the Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle demo, players will experience both the first steps into the game story, having a detailed look at the game's mechanics and graphics and the combat model, with the possibility to try out most of the in-game weapons such as the liquid nitrogen-enhanced Frost Grip. 

The demo will also allow players to provide feedback and suggestions to the developers, which will be considered for the final version of the game together with the final fine-tuning. In a massive effort to meet & match the high expectations of the community and lovers of the franchise, Leonardo Interactive decided to move to August the final game release.

“We're excited to be so close to completing the years-long work,” said Leonardo Caltagirone, Founder of Leonardo Interactive. “The worthy heir to the first chapter is coming out, and we can't wait to show you the clear improvements.”
